The Australians find it quite impossible

sum of $780, AGO, or nearly twenty five

and yet, instead of decreasing, the pests
appear to be increasing in numbers.

lighthouses from New London to Bar

citizens of Austin, and the whole state, may

! Gu int as it is it has the rarest charm for
| the stranger that yields himself to her
destinations. Her plazas would be a
credit to any American town; they are
shaded with magnificent groves, bedecked
with the rarest flowers and richest fruits,
with a fountain in the centre, gurgllng
forth with the purest water to quench the
/ thirst of the tired footman. One appar-
emily lives in by-gone centuries; it carries
him back along the ages of antiquity.
The hotels and houses of the weather.
class are built as in King Solomon's time,
with court yard, garden and fountain IN
the center; with the windows rallied IN
with strong bars, while there are huge
hinges and locks upon the doors.
Here we see the dark eyed dam
sells with their urns at the fountain
for water, as in the days of the Patrlarchs
Here, one is shut out from the busy
world of commerce and enterprise. The
Catholic cathedral was begun in l745,and
not com pleted until 1900, A. D.; the front
of the building is neat, and the finish and
decoration of the inside are extravaganza,
and we were told it was unsurpassed III
America. There are twelve massive bells
hung i'll the towers, and some of them are
ringing most every hour in the day.
If fellow kisses his girl here, it will be
through the iron bars. The girls are kept
almost like prisoners in their cells. If
they walk out it is generally with her
mother, or some older one of the family.
The mother goes around about p. M,
and sees that her girls are snugin bed anG
locked up; and the counting is done
through the bars at the dead hour of
midnight, when there is none else to wit
ness the love-feast except the moon and
stars, which never tell tales. The Next
cans are eccentric in their dress. The
women wear shawls on their heads, while
the men have wide brim hats. The ladies
are es specially proud of their feet,and wear
very small shoes with extremely high
heels, while the poorer class wear sandals.
The laborers get 25c Mexican money,which
IS equivalent to 20 cents in American
money. Most of the hauling is done on
burros. You can see the streets full of
burros, loaded with corn, wood, vegetables,
etc. The milk wagon is two long, tin milk
cans strapped across the hurricane deck
of burro.
We find good many Texas pleasure
San Esteban is the only American house
here, it is run by M. @. Barrow, which is an
elegant place to stop at. He don't only
furnish you with what the market affords
to eat, but takes his sight seeing guest
around, and points out the places of inter-
